x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm at a loss at my next firearm purchase. I already have the obligatory firearms nailed. I have an ar-15, 1911, Berreta 92, Ruger .357 mag, pump 12ga, double barreled 12ga, Saiga-12, Saiga v21 .308, wasr-10 ak-47, Mossberg .30-06, Mosin Nagant 91/30, Mosin Nagant m44. Kel-tec plr-16. Ruger 10/22, and a hi-point .45 carbine. Whats next? $600 max please. I would like a desert eagle, ar-10 m1903 Springfield. But I am limited by money. Thanks. I have had the single action .45lc also.

vulcan16 971 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 More Ammo!!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Maybe try getting a Taurus .410 pistol? They're very fun to shoot and arguably pretty useful for self defense as well as survival hunting. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 The more interesting the better. The ones with a good story behind them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tundra1 391 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 No .22 caliber pistol/revolver? Plinking with my .22 revolvers is relaxing to me. Couldn't imagine not having at least one in the safe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Father in law has a ruger single six. It is ok. I like the semi-auto .22 pistols but ammo is still scarce. If I had a couple thousand rounds I would want to get one. Good idea nonetheless. Something to think about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Just send me your available funds, I'll check out the LGS, pick one out and report back to you if its any good, then you can save up to buy it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk451 2,230 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 A pocket pistol is sometimes a good thing to have. S/W 638 is my usual BUG, but old 908 or Bulgy Makarov have served. All would fit your budget, unless you opted for laser grips on the 638. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Tokarev would be another good choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Buy ammo and correct whatever you think those you now own require. But the best advice I can give is save the cash for a while until you know for certain what you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Agree, buy ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) If your ammo supply doesn't have 2 digits in front of the comma, get more ammo. And mags. AK and AR mags at least 20 each. More is better. Edited April 13, 2015 by Darth Saigus 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 i have close to 5,000 rounds and reload for most of them. I really need powder. AA# 5 or AA#2 hs6. I have 8lbs for my .223. Y'all are right I have enough guns. My worry is that if I have to bug out I will have to leave half of it behind. Pick my best rifles shotgun and pistols and grab their ammo and leave the rest.

LuPiN8oR 333 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 You could always snag a pap m92... I had a hard time justifying the purchase but i absolutely love mine now that i have it set up to my liking. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Likely more than half but same problem. Yeah that is something of concern isnt it. At least one can sort of hide what must be left given the time. All decent firearms have their niche and it isnt hard to justify in the mind getting more that may not be really needed. We took a close look at things a couple of years ago and decided size and weight would be at least if not more important than other factors. Whats stays (minus the bolts), what goes into the truck, what gets left in the truck should feet become the mode of transportation. That last was the most difficult.

mancat 2,368 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Maybe a better use of your money would be to move somewhere where you would not have to "bug out," if that's something you're really concerned about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Actually I live in north east Texas an hour away from Barksdale AFB in Louisiana. They fly B52's from there and last I heard there are still nuclear weapons there. I should be safe unless someone bombs them. Otherwise I am in the middle of nowhere.

x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Anything bigger than 20 megatons dropped on the base would cause me concern. Hypothetically speaking. Lupin I already have the plr-16 so I could get a pap92 to match. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I don't have a sks. Are the type 56 chinese ones any good. I love old interesting com-block weapons. I enjoy learning everything about them. I already have the ammo I think an sks would be a welcome addition. Besides they are rather inexpensive. I know they used to be dirt cheap.

Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) There is no place safe. Bugging out could be due to something as simple as fire. Never did make any sense as a primary plan in response to some breakdown. But having a plan to do it is better than nothing. I know that area fairly well pretty much just rural south which aint bad at all, nice country. Type 56 are fine. Edited April 13, 2015 by Rhodes1968 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vance665 225 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 M92, Draco or mini Draco. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Save your money. You're gonna need it to buy one of these: I didn't see it on your list. You know you want one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 My dad has one. He bought it new 10 years ago. Springfield Amrory M1A. Match barrel 1/4 minute sights. He shoots service rifle matches with it. It shoots better than we do. At 200 yards wherever the sights point is where the bullet will hit. I will inherit it one day.

JDeko 792 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Better than anything I'll ever inherit, though I suppose being jealous of what you'll get when your father dies is pretty morbid and messed up. Still, a very cool gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 He also has a brand new Springfield Armory 1903a3 match barrel. Stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk 44 mag 10". A bunch of Thompson Contenders, and a pre 1964 model 94 Winchester .30-30 Yeah I know I cant exactly look forward to the day I get these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeko 792 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Are the contenders the pistol types? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah all of them. I forgot that they make rifles. They are .22lr .22 hornet 7tcu and 44 magnum. He shot silhouette competitions with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
x_man586 7 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Guys I appreciate your opinions. Thanks. I know that don't need another firearm, but I have a couple of ideas what my next one will be now. I also see some other things that I can improve on. Y'all have been a great help.

siminov 164 Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 My very first rifle was my grandfather's 30-30 winchester great rifle and probably the last thing I would ever think of parting with. Hope whatever you get for a pistol doesn't let you down and don't worry about buyers remorse if you happen to blow your budget, it goes away Quote Link to post Share on other sites
